Fiordland Advocate
20 September, 2012 | Page 5
Over a long period of time a
friendship was built up and the
chief invited Ms Wilson to tell his
story.
Ms Wilson said she and Emmy
Award-winning cinematographer
Michael Single, who was also the
cameraman for Fiordland's own
Ata Whenua, returned to Yakel
four or more times over a three-
year period, each time staying
for at least a month. The survivor
of tribal wars, colonisation,
epidemics, WWII, violent volcanic
eruptions and destructive
cyclones, Chief Kowia had
remained steadfast throughout
to his 'kastom' life, choosing to
reject the trappings of the modern
world in favour of a life free of
material goods. He successfully
prevented logging of the jungle
in which they live and staved off
intervention into their way of life
by missionaries. But their isolated
existence was constantly under
threat.
She said the outside world's
fascination for primitive
cultures was also of concern.
Already Yakel village was
being visited by tourists and
film crews, clambering to get
a peak at an incredible world
that has remained unchanged
for hundreds of years. There
was a risk it could turn it into
a "museum tribe" that sang
and danced for tourists, taking
attention from the day-to-day
tasks necessary for its survival as
a functioning society. She hoped
her film would enable outsiders
the chance to see and experience
their culture and understand the
importance of leaving them alone.
The film is New Zealand's first
3D feature release, although the
Te Anau launch will be screened
in 2D. It was launched earlier
this year at Australasia's leading
documentary festival Doc Edge
where it won the award for best
cinematography.
The blockbuster film Avatar was
released when Yakel was well
into post production and Ms
Wilson said she was struck by
the similarities, as have been
numerous reviewers.
She also saw strong parallels
with the Save Fiordland campaign
to protect Fiordland National
Park from further commercial
development and that prompted
her to support the cause by giving
Te Anau the opportunity to host
the first commercial screening of
Yakel.
"It's not a financially good move
for us as film makers but it's a
morally good move," she said.
Tickets for the gala screening cost
$150 each and are available from
Vibrance in Te Anau.

The Fiordland Harriers -- or should
that be Harriets? -- produced
standout performances at the
Southland Road Championships
last weekend with six of the club's
eight female competitors claiming
medals.
The event was held at Invercargill's
Queen's Park on Saturday.
Everybody started the 2.5km
loop track together, with runners
dropping out as they completed
their allocated distance.
Seven-year-old Paige Grieve
started in the youngest age group
possible, the 10-year girls, and
managed a silver medal, not
stopping once as she completed
the 2.5km course including a
sprint over the last 300m.
She was quickly followed by Dyani
Shepherd-Oates who continued
the great form she has shown
throughout the season with a gold
medal in the 12-year girls 2.5km
distance. After finishing she then
waited for her Mum Beverlee
Shepherd and ran her second lap
with her. Beverlee was competing
in the 5km 50-year women race
and finished third.
The 60-year women were next up
with Gail Kirkman taking another
Southland title and Ruth Bellew
taking the silver medal.
New Zealand representative race
walker Lesley Cantwell walked her
way to another title, adding to the
Southland Cross country title from
earlier in the year.
The last harrier event of the
season will be the St Paul's half marathon at Sandy Point on
October 7.
